The Western Australian government will relax more COVID-19 restrictions from 12.01am on Friday. Amongst other things, face masks will only by mandatory in high-risk indoor settings such as hospitals and aged-care homes, as well as public transport. Density and capacity limits for indoor venues will also be scrapped, and asymptomatic close contacts will no longer need to isolate. Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson concedes that the changes may result in higher case numbers and hospitalisations, although she says this can be managed. WA recorded 6,711 new cases and eight deaths on Wednesday; there were 9,849 new infections and 18 deaths in NSW, while Victoria reported 9,265 new cases and 15 deaths.
